The prince is very cruel

"Brother Ning, stop! You're frustrating me!"

"You've helped me so much these days. This is just a small thing, not worth mentioning."

"If I didn't know you wanted to go home and visit, I really didn't want to tell you this news. You'd leave as soon as you knew."

"If possible, I really want you to stay in Bashan to help me." Nie Nan smiled bitterly.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "All good things must come to an end, but there's a saying that goes, 'There's always a chance we'll meet again, even in the green mountains.'"

Nie Nan took a deep breath and could only think positively.

"How about this, Brother Ning? I'll give you a farewell banquet. The people of Bashan respect you very much."

"No, absolutely not!" Guan Ning immediately shook his head: "These days, I have been taken care of by the elders and fellow villagers here. I am afraid that when I leave, they will stay and I won't be able to bear to leave."

"Just let me leave quietly. Don't worry, I will come back to visit when I have time."

Nie Nan still wanted to persevere.

Lou Xinyue opened her red lips slightly: "Brother Nie, just listen to him."

Hearing this, Nie Nan opened his mouth, but ultimately gave up the idea of ​​trying to keep him.

The next day.

He personally led people to see Guan Ning and the other two off, all the way from Bashan to Liuzhuang Wharf.

A cargo ship was docked at the shore, and workers were already waiting. The rising sun lengthened the reflections.

"Brother Nie, I'll be leaving now."

Nie Nan pursed his lips and exhaled, feeling reluctant.

"Okay, I'll send you thousands of miles away. There will always be a farewell. We will meet again, and I won't let you down then!"

Guan Ning and Lou Xinyue nodded.

"By the way, Brother Ning, please be careful when you go out."

"Although His Majesty will not attack you again due to Bashan's feelings, the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi will not give up. The special envoy sent by His Majesty has clearly told me so."

"The court will not pursue the matter, but it will not protect you either." Nie Nan frowned. It was obvious that he had tried his best, but the court envoy also said that he could do nothing to help. His Majesty wanted to be fair, and it was impossible for him to order the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi not to take action. After all, the incident was too big at the time, and all the descendants of Zhao Tai were killed by Guan Ning.

Guan Ning showed his big teeth and grinned: "Okay, Brother Nie, don't worry."

"As long as the emperor remains neutral, that old man will be killed by me sooner or later!"

Nie Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The only person in the world who dared to say that was Guan Ning.

Immediately afterwards, under the gaze of everyone in Bashan, the cargo ship carrying Guan Ning and the other man left the shore and gradually sailed away in the midday sun.

Nie Nan wanted to speak several times, but no words came out.

Wu Xu seemed to see something and sighed, "Chief, are you still thinking about Miss Lou?"

Nie Nan shook his head.

"Love cannot be forced, and I am not worthy of her. Besides, Miss Lou is already married to Brother Ning, and I just treat her as a friend." He was bitter, but more open-minded.

"What about you?" Wu Xu frowned.

Nie Nan smiled bitterly: "I just feel reluctant to leave. These days have been like a dream."

"It seems that God has blessed us with a noble man in Bashan."

"Forget it, forget it." He muttered to himself.

"I wish them both a safe journey, peace and happiness. I am also going to do what I should do. Brother Ning gave Bashan hope, and I cannot let them down."

"Brother Ning, Miss Lou, see you at the top!"

After saying this, he revealed a carefree smile, then turned and left, no longer feeling depressed about the separation.

Wu Xu saw this and nodded secretly. The patriarch has truly grown up!

"..."

Starting from Liuzhuang, Guan Ning did not return to the capital directly, but went to Lingjun.

When he escaped, he was in such a hurry that Shengqi and Tang Xiang'er were left there. If he wanted to return to Beijing, he had to pick them up first.

The journey was smooth and quiet, and we enjoyed the mountains and rivers and never got tired of it.

Guan Ning couldn't help but get excited at the thought of returning to the capital soon to see Sister Yao and the others. He was so excited that Lou Xinyue felt a little jealous.

A few days later, they arrived at Ling County.

When he appeared outside Prince Ping's mansion, the entire palace was shocked. The guards rushed in, tumbling and crawling: "Prince, Prince!!"

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"..."

"What did you say?!" Li Zhibao's shout echoed throughout the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, there was thunder in the backyard of the palace, and many people rushed out.

"Brother Ning!" Tang Xiang'er choked and rushed out desperately, holding up her skirt. Tears had already blurred her vision, and her innocent face looked so pitiful.

boom!

She rushed heavily into Guan Ning's arms.

"Brother Guan, you're back, you're finally back, am I dreaming?"

"Woooooooo..."

She cried so sadly that even her shoulders were shaking. Guan Ning felt distressed and touched her waist, which was obviously thinner.

"I'm really back, it's not a dream."

"Why are you losing weight again?"

"Didn't you eat?"

Tang Xiang'er choked up. Ever since Guan Ning disappeared, she had not had a good meal or a good sleep. She had woken up many times in the middle of the night, sitting alone by the window, missing Guan Ning.

"Brother Ning."

"If you don't come back, Miss Tang will probably turn into a husband-waiting stone. Since you left, she has been crying every day and has no appetite. She either sits at the door waiting for you to come back or prays to God to keep you safe. No matter how much I persuade her, it's useless." Li Zhibao smiled bitterly and suddenly stepped forward.

Hearing this, Guan Ning's heart trembled, and even Lou Xinyue felt distressed. Tang Xiang'er was already thin, and now she was even thinner, as if she would fall apart if the wind blew.

"You girl." He didn't know what to say, knowing in his heart that Tang Xiang'er only had him.

"Come on, I'm back. I have to supervise you to eat more. Have you had lunch?" Guan Ning said.

Seeing so many people looking at her, Tang Xiang'er felt a little embarrassed. She wiped the tears from her face and sobbed, "Not yet."

"That's perfect, let's eat together."

"Where's Katsushichi?"

"Young Master, I'm here!" Sheng Qi walked out, as tall and strong as usual, and his previous injuries had long since healed.

There was a young woman next to him.

"Miss Zi Yan." Guan Ning smiled.

"Mr. Ning." Zi Yan bowed with a happy smile on her face. She was very dignified and generous, and had excellent upbringing.

Seeing that everyone was there, Guan Ning couldn't help but feel relieved. Before, in addition to worrying about his family in the capital, he was also worried about the people staying in Prince Ping's Mansion.

"Ok?"

"Where is Yuan Xiang?" Suddenly, he froze again.

Li Zhibao was about to say something.

"My dear nephew, Xiang'er has been taken back by her father."

Swish swish.

Everyone looked over, and Li Zhibao exclaimed, "Father, Royal Highness, Mother!"

"We pay our respects to the prince and princess." Everyone present saluted.

Prince Ping, dressed in a dragon robe, strode towards them, followed by the graceful and intellectual Princess Cao.

"Hahaha!"

"My dear nephew, thank you for your courtesy. Get up now. I was wondering why the magpies were chirping so loudly this morning. It turns out you've returned safely."
